Rezoning 22 acres near the southwest corner of Tomahawk Road and Broadway Avenue for the development of a 201-unit single-family rental home community is to be discussed Tuesday by the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission.

The commission meets at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 in the City Council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.

A presentation, discussion, public hearing and vote are planned about the rezoning of the property from general commercial and high density multiple-family residential to high density multiple-family residential by planned development.

Sonoma Communities, represented by Adam Baugh and Stephanie Watney of Withey Morris PLC, is the applicant; and Kalevala Investment LTD is the owner.

The housing subdivision is to be gated and professionally managed, Baugh wrote in a letter to surrounding land owners about a Sept. 14 virtual neighborhood meeting.

The Residences at Apache Trail development is to have 12 small one-bedroom, 62 large one-bedroom, 108 two-bedroom, 11 three-bedroom and eight two-bedroom carriage configurations with an overall density of approximately 10.1 dwelling units per acre, according to a written planned development narrative by Sonoma Communities.

While the majority of the homes are single story, eight will be two-story carriage units above a garage, it states.

“The Residences at Apache Trail will offer the benefit of a single-family home lifestyle without the cost, hassle of maintenance or the long-term commitment of a mortgage. Residents will enjoy the amenities and property management services of a high-end multi-family development without the confines of apartment living,” the narrative states. “The Residences at Apache Trail is a community where residents can live free of the maintenance and cost obligations of traditional homeownership. The cottage, farmhouse and desert modern architecture include substantial front porches that deliver an attractive product to the marketplace.”
